pydo.databases.add_connection_pool()

Description

For PostgreSQL database clusters, connection pools can be used to allow a database to share its idle connections. The popular PostgreSQL connection pooling utility PgBouncer is used to provide this service. See here for more information about how and why to use PgBouncer connection pooling including details about the available transaction modes.

To add a new connection pool to a PostgreSQL database cluster, send a POST request to /v2/databases/$DATABASE_ID/pools specifying a name for the pool, the user to connect with, the database to connect to, as well as its desired size and transaction mode.
